Developmental Milestones

So we took DD to follow up appointment today. She's 9 weeks old. When the doctor checked on some of her developmental milestones, we were told she's doing some things that 4 month olds do. But to us it's kind of like oh ok since some of this stuff she's been doing since 2-3 weeks old. But the crazy thing is how much we get asked in public how old and people are shocked and automatically says she's moving out of the way for the next. WRONG....with a 10 year old DD and 8 year old DS, there won't be anymore. Sorry, just babbling.

Lundsonmom thanks for your honesty and reassuring other moms like me that our LO are perfectly normal even if at 2 months they only sleep, eat, pee, and poop, and have a little awake time where they loom around maybe smile and do tummy time!

Good for your daughter! I'm hoping and wishing that our daughter, Willow, will hit her milestones, since she may have developmental issues. She is 9 weeks and 3 days, her smiling, cooing, and lifting her he's during tummy time have been amazing feats, considering everything we have been told! I have cried each time she hits a milestone! :-) don't take it for granted.

Oops wasn't trying to brag. Just a little shocked to find that she was doing something we just found to be exciting, since newborns are boring, and considered early. On her tummy she can lift half her body and hold her head steady. She's been putting weight on her legs since 3 weeks. But she's also grabbing objects such as a rattle and hanging onto it and shaking it and bringing her hands together and to her mouth knowingly.

Right and that's how hubby and i saw it, as parents of a 10 and 8 year old; been there done that. And now this little mama is the last one so we are just embracing every baby moment now since doc pointed the stuff out. It's crazy they grow so fast. She's 10 weeks on Friday and seems like yesterday I had her.

I find it interesting to hear what other babies are doing. My DS smiled at 3 weeks and 1 day old. Other than that he just does the usual, eats, sleeps, cries and poops. Nothing wrong with being a proud mummy :)
